Question
This slinky wave represents a ____.

- Transverse wave
- Longitudinal wave
- Sound wave
- Water wave
Hint:
Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
The correct answer is: Transverse wave
- Transverse waves cause the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
- Particles of the medium move up and down in transverse waves.
- Therefore, in the given figure slinky wave represent a transverse wave.
- So, the correct option is a.
